S'pore to raise retirement age to 64 in 2026

[True Believer]

While the freedom of retirement sounds great, having 16 waking hours a day with no must-do tasks leads to decision fatigue i.e. what to do everyday to keep oneself occupied? No hobby will occupy 8-9 hours of every weekday.

Similarly the gov is proud that 50% of sinkies doesn't need to pay income tax and the criteria in order not to pay is a chargeable income of less than 20k

You stand apart from 96% of Singaporeans, save for 5 crucial lapses of judgment when you handed your body over to Pfizer.

Many people devote their lives to shaping an identity out of their profession or social function. Over time, the role becomes indistinguishable from the self. When the role eventually ends—as all roles do—the loss is not merely of employment, but of identity.

What unsettles them is not retirement itself, but the realization that the persona they inhabited was never the person they were.

Retirement is of little concern to you, because you never confused your identity with your occupation, your possessions, or your wealth. You never sought shelter in a persona, as many do—not even behind the fleeting handsomeness of a John Lone, accepting without resistance the transition to being a karchng bin.​

You cannot take vaccines as an example.
A vaccine is a gamble.
Nobody can tell this before and after.
It can turn one into immortals too when done correctly.

Isn't this what happens when they are holding "your" imaginary money subject the debasement in the CPF?? The more you have inside, the more leverage they have against you. Isn't that right???

This is a form of psychological role play. When the stage lights go down and the costume is removed, the actor realises that he has forgotten how to be anyone else but the roles he has been playing on stage.

today i decided to retire. Enjoy my day, then tomorrow i go back to work and feeling fresh, then i go back to retirement the following day. i retired whenever i want. Maybe next week i retired and see if i want to carry it on over the following week too. Sometime retirement is a bit boring so i go back to work mode again.

That is very book theory. Does not reflect reality. No companies give a fuck what the govt say.. profit is the thing. If you reach certain age and the company feels that u are a liability. Bye bye to ur job.

Even 30 year olds are not spared from retrenchment. Too many old birds hogging the job market with not many fresh new jobs coming up

Some of my friends and colleagues report that even their adult children are getting laid off in their late 20s and early 30s.

Our pro-business and pro-employer govt says that the official retirement age is a guideline (not law), so employers could not care less about. They are able to fire a senior staff by citing poor work performance which is subjective.

I have seen old auntie from another department who gave everyone hell including the snr HR business partner and her own boss not to mention her staff under her mainly all forced to leave due to poor performance mete out by this mean old auntie

Trump is truly amazing in that he can talk nonsense, but still be the leader of the most powerful nation on earth.

An acquaintance retired at 63, but returned to work part-time at 65, then had a heart attack that he did not survive.

She hates her own reporting boss to the core but she is just a mahjong kaki of the big boss but pushes her lame weight around
